The Perfect Pair

Say hello to K2VITAL™, Vitamin D’s perfect partner

Like a lot of things, Vitamin D is best with backup. Vitamin D3 and K2 combined make a perfect pair1 

Vitamin D and Vitamin K2 are fat soluble vitamins that promote heart health, and play critical roles in healthy functions of our bones. 1,2,3 

The Benefits of Combining D3 and K2

Little known fact: Calcium is the most abundant mineral in our bodies. 99% is found in our bones and teeth, while the other 1% is stored in our blood and soft tissues9. It’s a key structural element that helps build our bones, but it can’t do it alone.

Fortunately for us, calcium has help: 

Vitamin D

Vitamin D is a workhorse that helps us absorb calcium, enables synthesis of vitamin K dependent proteins and regulates calcium metabolism 

 

Vitamin K2

Vitamin K2 activates these proteins

Vitamin D3, K2, and Calcium Together 

Vitamin D and Vitamin K2 function synergistically to regulate calcium metabolism from absorption to placement of the mineral in the bone.1,2,3 

 Simply put, without K2, Vitamin D can’t do its job properly.

How to Get K2 and D3 Naturally

Vitamin K2 appears in small amounts in our food, especially animal products and fermented foods. Fatty fish (trout, salmon, tuna, and mackerel), beef liver, egg yolks, and cheese can all give you small amounts of D3. 

But typically, modern Western diets are notoriously low in vitamin K2 —especially K2 MK-7.10

  • ~40% of Europeans are vitamin D deficient, with 13% being severely deficient12 
  • In the US, almost 1 in 4 people have vitamin D blood levels that are too low to properly support their bone health and overall health11 

Our science-backed nutritional solutions help bridge these gaps with effective, stable, and bioavailable formulations tailored to your product goals.
